How to make a capo

[MrHochima]

what you doing ????

[dm2k11]

thumbs up if ur irish

[davidzhang23r0]

sounds sharp

[3325js]

@davidzhang23r0 so then you tune it...thats true of most capos

[AwestruckYvonne]

nice vid. short and sweet. boom.

[magua43]

Come on DUDE....you can afford a few thousand $worth of electric guitar (a Fender I suppose) and cant afford a few pennyworth a capo ???????

[defender6667]

Парень, купи и не парься

[cupcwade]

capos are like less then 5 bucks people.. totally affordable lol

[thatonechick2012]

I kept calling it a caper!!!! Lol

[MrRebelSteve]

This works pretty good. But I have a better solution for acoustic users. What works best Is to take one of those rubber bracelets like a cancer one or something and lay it on the fret then put a pencil over it preferably a carpenters pencil and tie it down or use to rubber bands. Works great. :)

[zephead233]

beats paying 5 bucks, your the man!

[Mymusicc11]

Love how im just walking around with one shoelace missing because playing guitar is more important than tripping voer all the time when im walking. Shoe laces are overated :P

[CraznL0v3]

Thank gohhd someone made a capo tht ..actually WORKS !! ...cuz my parents wont buy me one! >.< but now i have a cheap one ..so IN THEIR FACE..es..?? ^-^

[HelgiValur97]

[parvelvante]

[DubAndTrey]

Thanks!

[MrCrazyKool]

Huh? 

[naruto2shippuuden]

LOOOOOOOLLLLLL



[valkstar10]

of course it sounds great, ur using ELECTRIC guitar which amplifies the sound! what about us ACOUSTIC users? it sounds like crap when i do it. find some better way

[adam0509]

I LOLED !

[BlackHawkGaming]

lol "here's what it sounds like"

me:..."mmmmhm...yeah, I'm pretty sure there's no unique, specific sound its supposed to make, pal"

but yeah, its still a great vid and served its purpose for us guitarists who don't want to run out just yet to get a cheap capo because we're too hooked on learning a song that requires one =/

[mehdizourmand]

been borrowing a mates as only popped to uni for a week, and it worked brilliant, doing an open mic night tonight with it :)

[supplydahigh09]

i use hair ties so i can move it from fret to fret without having to take apart again....

[lightbulbovermyhead]

My sister broke my capo this morning and I wanted so bad to play this song with the capo on the second fret. Well, I did. Thank you.

[xxTeamDestructionxx]

you say desperate. i say cheap.

[Born95Acoustic]

This is genius, thankyou for sharing!!

[SavLawd]

It's capo you fool

[xXblackXbutterflyXxx]

I have the same guitar. XDD

[maggot00yay]

Oh crap, I need to write something down, where is my pen ?

[brocktherockster]

@maggot00yay Lawl, it's on ur guitar dude. That was the one thing that made me laugh today, feel proud. xD

[gnawy113]

[BoyznGirlz09]

It's pronounced KAY-POE your welcome.

[VictoriaKawas]

STRATOCASTERRR!!

[ZemnaxHero]

is that ur electric guitar... which nt gonna last for long...?

[WTFMusicPerson]

Oh and nice btw you saved me :) buzz wears down if you find some pencil grippers to slide on there

[WTFMusicPerson]

@lovedog388 a capo is for a guitar it presses down all the strings on a certain fret eqivalant to a bar chord but it last the whole song so that your fringers are free to work the rest of the fret while that's barred. Some songs simply can not be played with out it.

[LoveDog388]

What is a capo for

[zackefronlover123456]

@LoveDog388 it changes the sound of the guitar like the song onetime by justin bieber u need a capo for that song

[chemoman1]

@zackefronlover123456 Sorry... Justin? Bieber? Hell... Well people have their tastes.

[Penguin9796]

@LoveDog388 ............................

[Corrus9]

@LoveDog388 your guitar if u have 1

[aznthefinest]

ghetto but iim desperate :D

[learn2beRandom101]

so how do ya make it

[xtido7x]

out of tune!!!!!! lol

[stomachtalk]

that's exactly how I always made mine as a kid, it's great :)

[takethepainawayx]

This totally worked for me~! :)

[dreamingfairytales]

THANKS!

[Nezzib]

love your accent :P

[ffadestinyffa]

but u still get the buzz from the pen...

[harrysins]

@ffadestinyffa use a crap ton of rubber bands thats what i did

[Jimborocknroll90]

good job mate

[lomboy09]

haha if your desprite it wouldent be the first time i wa called that haha jk

[DACK312]

life saver!, Thanks dude! man i swear my capos go missing all the time.

[keerahogga]

lol i forgot my capo when i went to college... this worked

[xXMyChemicalPanicsxX]

thank you. it works beautifully. much easier than just using my finger

[fomspsk8er]

Works better with rubber bands, thanks bro!

[captaincabeman]

i pronounce it c-ay-po. long a, long o. and thats because it comes from the Italian for "head". so i just stick to the translation.

[HungryHarts04]

your actually epic.

[TravisMaxima]

Capotasto.

[berritouches]

thanks so MUCH!!

[cacophonybecker]

hell yes lefty

[emilson0395]

it worked with me.

[Clo95x]

are you irish ? :)

[88Thyra]

tune that high E

[zetfactor]

great but am just gonna use the shoe lace lol

[Juanfcoglezf]

it won't work, I tried that one but it only presses both E and e, all the other strings become mute ( x ), I recommend you to use the pen.

[jugglebug911]

only if it was tuned..

[dazzthefatman]

LOL. maybe hes one of those guitarist who play in detuned with a heavy amount of distortion to cover up any actual sound.

[jugglebug911]

haha maybe. but actually i tried that and it just generally sounds like crap. just go out and spend 20 bucks on a capo. trust me.

[dazzthefatman]

Well if used well it sounds good ( if your on about the distortion comment i made ). i tried the makeshift capo and it just doesnt live up to the expectations. ill just buy one at some point instead, it'll defintely be worth it.

[jugglebug911]

haha no thats what i meant.

the homemade capo sucks balls.

[dazzthefatman]

lol sorry. yeah it does suck.

[AdamTesta]

hah cah-po hahahah

[xxxGirlyxxx145]

lol, ghetto capo...

[Thursday196]

haha yup definetly

[tangarineqt1946]

c-ah-po? lol its c-ay-po :d capo

[psxis]

I always say cah-po, not cay-po. Sounds better IMO.

[imsmarturnot1234]

pencil and elastics works better

[MinorMistakes]

how'd you tie it like that O_o

[TwistedMentality089]

sounds wrong

[Ninjujitsu]

You can do it without the pen/pencil if you tie the lace tight enough.

[megaman351000]

that is the best way to make a capo if you dont have money

[alittleless16]

it works better if youse a notebook wire

[felix200100]

BEST FUCKING WAY TO MAKE A CAPO RIGHT BEFORE U GO ON STAGE, holy shit i was scared as hell and i pull out my ipod and look for a video and i find this, good thing i was wearing boots instead of sandals cuz i ripped my shoelace off and stole a pen from some dude and made this, works just fine

[x3juLbertx3]

are you kidding!? OMG

never saw that before, but I tried out a few times and it really works :O

awesome xD

[splashdude9]

can u show me a toot please

[backers92]

my god get a brain

[FileF]

LOL

i left u that +1, btw.

[xrunepk3rzx]

LOL yeah you do that :P

Then at least we won't have to read your weird emo comments.

[guitrsoker919]

thanks man i broke my capo and i am broke so good lookin out

[THErealJEBUSdude]

if you can figure out how to make one the only covers three strings il be greatful

[PnoyBalla72]

shit! spent 20$ on one -_-

[godsarmy105]

thank you so much, was desperate for one

[naryanr]

it's only pronounced cay-poh if (a) you're in america (b) you feel like it.

[bassmater123]

@naryanr a caaapo haha wow he fails

[LinzyRulzNorthNowra]

HA!

[boogyman19946]

Right, nobody feels like paying 15 bucks for a nice capo :)

[GabriellaDee]

a poor guy?.. uses a temporary capo with an electric guitar!. dude you aren't poor!. :)) nice idea though:P

[hono0]

Your a goddamn genius, your guitar needs tuning

Cheers babe

[jelmerdebom]

good enough for me :P

now i can finally play slow cheetah by red hot chili peppers

[DaveO15]

What a song! :O

[yvonnedankers]

its great huh ! :D

im in love with that song

[jelmerdebom]

LOL!!!!!!!!!!1

its great huh ! :D

im in love with that song

i accidentally posted that with my mom's youtube account xD

but it was me who posted it :P

[DaveO15]

Hahaha, nice one. :P But yeah, unraaael song from an unraaael album!!

[boab69y2k]

hehehe getto or what lol i made one saved me money for extra beer

[itwaz]

HELL YEAH!

[BlackZio]

clever

DX sells some for 3 bucks, but thats not the point, its cheap, but sometimes you just don't have it at the moment, and almost everywhere you can find a pen and shoe laces.

too bad i didn't see this using only shoe laces

[Pax12345678]

i lost my capo.

so thank you!

[Jakov77]

HHahah if ur desperate.

[CSEproduction]

haha you make me laugh at the starting

[Mcmotherfuckingrory]

Where in Ireland are you from? North, South, East or West?? I can't recognise your accent.

[Vabu42]

your guitar is out of tune.

[Narutoki]

it prolly sounds like that because he has the pen capo on it.

[Vabu42]

no. its out of tune and it has this wired ass homemade capo on it

[serrahhmusic]

hahahaha

[asslesschap182]

fuck. too bad i didnt see this that i was trying to make a capo out of a wristband

[tabitha85730]

Thanks so much! You're a savoir! BTW, where I live, there isn't a place to buy one and when you need one and are desperate, this works great.

[roostaboi93]

no mate there only £15.

[x0stardust0x]

this makes me laugh...it costs like 3 bucks you know!

[rangedkid]

I have no idea where you got 3 bucks lol. A decent one is minimum $20.

[juanmonchis]

haha thanks a lot! :D

[hawkpanther7]

that sounds intense

[g35crazy]

haha lol a biro is hawk nelsons bass players last name

[masterforeskin]

at the end the guitar sounded horrible

plus its caklled a cap-o

no "e"

[theedkellyproject]

lol ur a dick!

[Merdico336]

soory but whats a biro???

[Merdico336]

never mind I found out that it's a ballpoint pen. Me and my american language...

[bIackwizard]

cool

[leonardcloud]

Works great,cool,thanks a lot

[SilasR7]

ye im from canada and i say cap oh! not cape oh well yeah it works perfectly! thanks man!

[jammiejames2150]

Thnks dude .. works perfectly =]

[punkrockparanada]

by the way, this works brilliantly...

thanks alot

[punkrockparanada]

if your from america you pronounce it cape-oh

but this guy sounds irish to me...maybe

Im from UK and people here call it cap-oh :D

[ilsolenudo]

I think capo is an italian word. It means "head" or "chief".

So, the correct pronounciation is the UK one: cap-oh.

By the way, this invention is absolutely useful!

Thank you!

[minicluer]

wooo yeah united kingdom

[blahgly]

thanks this really hepl and i'm being very serious because i'm really poor twenty freaking dollars for something that can be made at home
